This and That

If you read my last post, you should've noticed that it wasn't a fluid post from an argument standpoint. I'll get back to those; but, in this time, our Country has electronically induced ADD. So I post a bit like that. I should only do that on X. But forgive me. I can't believe Mark Harmon attacked Trump for the size of his ear bandage. If there was one thing that I thought the left wouldn't have brought up, the bandage was it. I expected some odd conspiracy theories from both sides. But a bandage conspiracy? The security detail FAILED in a dramatic fashion. Fix it! RNC SLUT WALK Anyone who understands MAGA (love the idea AND I voted for Haley) knows that the real GOP really supports freedom moreso than the DNC. We have absolute idiots that are "Conservatives" who won't recognize the planks in their eyes while pointing out the specks in their neighbor's eyes. I have NO problem with the RNC speakers chosen. God Bless William Pekrul!

Crazy stuff

The aamount of rhetotic on both sides of the aisle about who is Nazi has been disturbing I would suggest that everyone review what a "Nazi" is versus the original "Fascist" concept was under Mussolini I'm not supporting either and both are appalling But the authoritarian nonsense mentality of Germany and Italy (and Japan) made a "good" fit. I continue to argue that the Progressive movement, including Teddy Rosevelt, shares a lot the same ideals SHARES! So the difference is that FDR was denied another term by death before an amendment was added to prevent more than two terms in a row Both Biden and Trump are goofy But who is best to lead the Executive Branch right now? I say Harris (and she should lead the Dem party against Trump IMO)

Pray for the President

President Biden is our President. I’m praying for him because he is in such an incredibly difficult and responsible position. His performance in last week’s debate screamed “Sundowner Syndrome” if you’ve ever had to deal with someone later in the day with Alzheimer’s/Dementia. My interpretation is in NO WAY a definitive diagnosis; however, his wife needs to be his wife. Biden’s age is not the issue. It’s his health. And the REAL ISSUE is/are the issues. What candidate can best “lead” the country (remember the separation of powers folks; the President is not a dictator regardless of the silliness we see in TV ads)? I pray that the winner in November does his/her best for the country. I would hope that all of us can pray for the future of our country (or have good vibes if you aren’t into God). (BTW I have never voted for Trump in a primary, but I voted for him in the last two general elections. So, yes, I’ve got “issues” with the man.)

Mount Holly’s City Council doesn’t Understand Supply and Demand

I am not a radical tree hugger, but I do believe in recycling, especially when its easy. Apparently the city council was overly stressed out on 6/24 because the amount for collection (the city contracts it out) was going to almost double from $5 and change to just over $9! per month. We have been encouraged to take our recycable stuff to a local place. Or for $7.10/month I can get a second garbage can that picks up trash weekly vs recycling every other week I think we will try to recycle the aluminum cans

It’s Been Ages

Hi folks! I finally regained access to my account after three years just now. I wish I had been online to tell you about my experiences as an insurance sales agent (the good and the bad... the bad is mostly on the Medicare supplement side and those annoying commercials), my time driving a big rig, and my brief time as a half ass pit crew member for Jennifer Jo Cobb in the NASCAR Truck Series. I need to update the family tree. One of my grandfather's wives actually had a daughter from a previous marriage when he married Dolores. So, techniclally, there's a step-Aunt (deceased) which makes her a step-sister to the rest of the MH children. Well until I can log in on a computer versus my phone, Bye now!

I’m back - Get OFF my Lawn!

Hello folks. I have been quiet for far too long. No More! The Woke nonsense of the Gramscian leftism I and others predicted well over 30 years ago is here and is destroying America. My time to roar has begun. Stay tuned.

What an odd election season

Well I am certainly not telling you anything you don't know with that title. Super Tuesday should be interesting. What I am looking forward too is the GOP Senate primary in NC (we've moved). Richard Burr is the incumbent, but he is being challenged from the right (thankfully!). Although he has a difficult road to getting the nomination, I certainly hope that Dr. Greg Brannon gets it. He is the Tea Party candidate, who fell short in 2014. He doesn't come without controversy having had a failed tech company where he ended up losing a civil suit to the tune of almost $500K. However that did not deter Rand Paul from endorsing him in 2014. He also is a graduate of the right USC! Fight on!

Well because I can

I was going to post here... and then I found FaceBook... and then I found FaceBook... I think I may come back here, but will still be on FB.

I'd love to post but...

Google has been trying to link all my accounts to my work account. I hope I have unlinked them.

I'm Back

Sometime in the next month I will resume blogging in a full column style as the Spirit or as my cranky attitude moves me on my blog site. Like most of you, I have had a crazy last couple of weeks in general. I have had a crazy, and so strange, last day and a half. I had no intention of restarting my column/blog (half-assed or not!) prior to 1:45 today. I listen to the Catholic Channel's Daily Mass from St. Patrick's when I can on the way to work as often as I can as part as my on going Lenten promise. Today's sermon (by Msgr. Weber? missed the intro) was instructive and positive. Thank God for our WW II Vets! You risked your lives to defend our freedoms, and now, many of the generations after just don't give a damn about your sacrifice or the Constitution. --------- The above is from my Facebook page. I'm back

The Death Bishops

The USSCB are against the death penalty everywhere. The problem is that they are arguing that those of us in the USA don't need the death penalty anymore as it no longer deters murders and it, somehow, is cruel.

Let's deal with the concept that the death penalty is inherently cruel according to the Chruch:

Oops! As horrid it might be, the Church has been for it - here is some of the worst (notice Aquinas): http://adtelevavi.wordpress.com/2008/01/11/the-catholic-church-and-the-death-penalty/

Now many cite John Paul II. Let us look at his statement:

"It is clear that, for these purposes to be achieved, the nature and extent of the punishment must be carefully evaluated and decided upon, and ought not go to the extreme of executing the offender except in cases of absolute necessity: in other words, when it would not be possible otherwise to defend society. Today however, as a result of steady improvements in the organization of the penal system, such cases are very rare, if not practically non-existent...

In any event, the principle set forth in the new Catechism of the Catholic Church remains valid: 'If bloodless means are sufficient to defend human lives against an aggressor and to protect public order and the safety of persons, public authority must limit itself to such means, because they better correspond to the concrete conditions of the common good and are more in conformity to the dignity of the human person.'"

So it would seem that the Church is against capital punishment unless it is really needed as of 1995.

My best guess is that the Pope was not given the truth Based on the actual data, it is needed. Let us continue!

Let us look at the real statistics as analyzed by Professor John Lott that should have been provided the Pope AFTER 1995. (Lott is also a Catholic). Now those of you who would whack me around... I contacted Prof. Lott two days ago and he confirms his numbers. The death penalty saves INNOCENT lives. Here is his article. BTW I'd be happy to loan you my copy of Freedomnomics.

Both Prof. Lott and I are interested in actually saving innocent lives, emotions be damned. The history of protecting the innocent, especially those we will never know, is on the side of Prof. Lott and me, not the goofy bishops who feel and not think.

Let us save the innocents!

Together in Taxation

Yes it has been awhile. I am at Facebook most of the time. However, I am one of my "moods" today; a mood that was set off yesterday by the Archdiocese's annual Together in Mission campaign.

Once again, the complete story behind the program is not being told to parishioners in some (all???) parishes. But before I get to what is being left out, let's take a look at what the program aims to do.

There are many struggling parishes and parish schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. So, Cardinal Mahony started a program where each parish would be given a target donation amount that parishioners were to pledge to meet. It is up to each family to decide how much to give. In the sense that we should help the less fortunate, it is a great program in that all the money goes to the parishes and schools that need it, and none of it is redirected anywhere else.

However, what we are not told is that our parish does meet the target amount, the pastor must cut a check in December for the balance due from the parish's savings account.

So, the idea that charity should come from the heart (as well as the wallet) is completely undercut! The now retired Cardinal has created a program that is more akin to a tax-the-parishes program than to a charity drive. As such, until the truth is told, I will continue to find other financially struggling Catholic organizations to receive my donation directly thus bypassing this tainted structure.

Never from Mahony...

Glad to see some part of the Church in the U.S. has some leadership!

Why are they celebrating? They should go home and go to bed and get ready for the next series!

My friendly local store guy was killed last week. Anyone with information should click on the link above and call the authorities.

Thanks.

Msgr. August Moretti, RIP

Some very sad news to report in the passing of our former Pastor, Pastor Emeritus, and fellow brother Knight, Msgr. Moretti.  He is now at peace with the Lord.  Msgr. Bob notified the congregation at the beginning of 5 p.m. mass tonight.  Funeral services are pending.  I know many of you have been praying for him and his family.  Thank you all and please continue to keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers. 

President Death

He is a killer and anti-personal conscience a.k.a, anti-choice in conscience. He is a liberal fascist!

And here is his new "Catholic" lackey of death courtesy of Fox News.
